Using hp.synfast's fwhm paramter is equals to using hp.synfast without fwhm parameter, then use hp.map2alm then almxfl bl(fwhm) to get the same beam map.
on scalar map: if wanna smooth the map from 9arcmin or 30arcmin to 67 arcmin, a C1 2 degree map is enough, then you can add some C1 5 degree, the difference on map is 1e-10 per pixel, which is very low.
